i always said......just take the first step.
it is like an excercise first few days ull run a few steps, next few days u ll run ur first mile after 6 months ull be marathon ready.
u need good sinciere advice. and ppl who have faith in u.
i started by bringing down a 2500 pk rupee bat to srilanka.
i knew i have to do some thing.
again i will be ur best ally here wen it comes to business suggestions. i wont have every thing right but u gota decide.
again ALHUMDULILLAH i have loads of research on marketting segmants.
auto parts is a lucrative business.
believe me 1 lack is a lot of capital.
as volverine said bring down detailing products.
this is how i see it.
if u wana bring down detailing products. or say for ex" oil filters or air filters for corolla.
be the specialised person in 1 product with the ltd budget u wont b able to put ur hand in every thing.
sellect a particular product or 2 form ur own brand patent it later and be the distributor for it.
so wen ever that product is required ull deliver it.
as some one said above.......keep only good cusotmers.
as a wholesaler u will need a basic ware house u can start from ur back yard to save money.
next and the most imp thing is u must have a good supply chain and logistics capability at initial stage good distribution.
trust me if u organize well in a year u 1 lack will b 1 mill:D
